Ramaswamy, 38, an estimated net worth of over $950 Million as a biotech entrepreneur sought to replicate Trump’s rise as an anti-establishment outsider with an eye toward replicating Trump’s style of campaigning by championing pro-Trump platforms and attacking opposition with loud rhetoric, often leading to public disputes with fellow Republican candidates.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley recently criticized Haley’s spreading of conspiracy theories such as those surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol uprising as an “inside job,” while pushing his promotion of the Great Replacement theory that contends white people are being replaced by immigrants.
He’s a Trump clone?
Former pharmaceutical executive Ted Cruz, 38 years old and running as a Republican candidate, has proven a divisive figure in the GOP field. His arguments assert that American culture has been taken over by “wokeism,” and must be reclaimed from “leftwing social justice jihadists.”
On the debate stage, Ramaswamy often employed dramatic hand gestures and attacks his opponents with great fervor. His aim, according to him, was to appeal to voters like those Trump won in 2016, such as blue-collar white Christians without college degrees.
Ohio native Josh Mandell has promised to close down government agencies such as the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Additionally, he advocates ending birthright citizenship on grounds that its 14th Amendment never intended for it to apply to children of undocumented immigrants. If elected he’d raise voting age to 26 requiring approval by two-thirds of Congress and 38 state legislatures if successful; additionally he’s against abortion as it violates his moral beliefs; his views are dangerous; his campaign a farce.
He’s a strongman?
As GOP candidates fought over abortion policy and Ukrainian military aid, their party’s divisions became evident. One heated exchange saw businessman Vivek Ramaswamy make an impassioned argument for MAGA’s revolutionary pessimism while attacking Mike Pence’s optimism for American culture.
Pharmaceutical entrepreneur Rasmussen hasn’t run for public office, but has made appearances on cable news programs and conservative YouTube channels as an occasional guest to criticize “wokeness” as an anti-democratic force in America.
Ramaswamy has attempted to emulate Trump’s meteoric rise as an eccentric outsider, yet has struggled to connect with voters. A recent poll revealed that 37% of Iowa caucusgoers viewed him unfavorably — an uptick since his summer surge. Ramaswamy’s competitors like former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have taken shots at him; yet have failed to dent his support significantly – providing Ramaswamy with an opening to showcase his radical vision of government.
He’s a liar?
Ramaswamy prides himself on not being a politician, yet is extremely adept at lying. Within only months he has managed to incorporate an astounding array of bold reversals and contradictions into his campaign platform.
Ramaswamy campaigned on an anti-climate change platform throughout his 2024 bid, asserting that climate change is an elaborate hoax and will threaten “liberty.” Additionally, he advocated for the abolition of the Department of Education, shutting down government agencies such as FBI, and ending birthright citizenship as parts of his platform.
As the youngest candidate in this race, Ramaswamy took advantage of his youth and political inexperience to present himself as a refreshing voice in Republican politics. Unfortunately, however, he failed to capitalize on his initial momentum, finishing far behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley at Iowa caucuses. When confronted about his outrageous claims – when confronted by fact checkers or media – he simply doubled down on them further while continuing to defend his lies by repeating them and defend them further – making him untrustworthy as an outright liar that should never be trusted again.
He’s a shill?
Ramaswamy first gained public awareness for his passionate rants against business policies that promote sustainable and equitable economic growth, more commonly known as ESG. He frequently criticized progressives’ focus on identity politics while advocating race-blind meritocracy instead of university affirmative action policies, which the Supreme Court overturned earlier this year.
Ramaswamy successfully captured the anger of Republicans against their establishment, yet his conspiratorial rhetoric caused some voters to take notice. For instance, he has repeatedly asserted that Juneteenth is an artificial holiday and claimed Saudi Arabia was involved in 9/11’s attacks – all claims likely not given credence by voters who have grown tired of conspiracy theories; his suspension from campaign means it’s unlikely he will take Trump’s place as Republican nominee in 2024.
